Thanks Siegey, I'll PM you some questions for more details if that's OK :)

Here are the general questions I'm sending out if anyone has any additional thoughts they want to post or PM me.

1. Would you mind if I named you in the article or would you prefer to remain anonymous?
2. What years did you serve, with which regiment and what was your final rank?
3. Did you see active service?
4. What was your daily or weekly fitness regime like? What were the targets you had to meet?
5. Did you witness anyone losing fitness after they passed their initial fitness tests for entry? If so, what did you think caused it?
6. What could be done better, if anything, in military fitness training? Could PTs learn anything from civilian life?
7. Were the food and portion sizes healthy?
8. In your opinion, do all roles need the same degree of fitness, even if they're mainly sedentary, like cyber security or piloting a drone?
9. Can you think of any technology that would help Armed Services personnel stay fit, like fitness trackers, apps or wearable sensors on combat gear?  Or would it pose a security risk?
10. Did you see PT routines change over time?
11. Is there anything else you'd like to add I haven't touched on?
12. Do you have any photos of yourself from your military service I could use? (:perv:)
